Solar HVAC: What You Need to Know

Hi, my name is Suzanna. When the old HVAC system in my home began to fail, I decided to invest in a new one. Over the past few years, I have become increasingly environmentally aware, so I wanted my new HVAC system to be as green as possible. I contacted an HVAC contractor and discussed what I wanted, and they suggested I have a solar powered HVAC system installed in my home. I did a little more research and I was really impressed by the solar option as it would save me money and help to save the planet. I decided to start this blog to encourage others to explore solar HVAC systems.

    The Role of a Silica Dust Collection System in Solving Silica Exposure

    Many industries are producing "respirable" or fine silica dust during their process. This is potentially a health risk to workers. Quartz is the most popular type of silica. Ranking among the earth's more common minerals, when finely divided, quartz can be a hazard. Silica risks are found in any job that mines, produces, or handles rock, clay, and sand, including gas and oil production, shipbuilding and road construction, paint and glass processing, masonry and stone-cutting, and concrete and asphalt production.

    Tips for Finding and Installing a Home Air Conditioner

    An air conditioner will keep your home fresh regardless of the outside temperature. However, it can be confusing to go through the many options to find and install a suitable model. Here are a few tips to help. Split System or Ducted System A key decision is whether to install a split system or a ducted unit.

The reason for this is that this type of air conditioning system is largely hidden from view; the HVAC contractor inserts the ducts into the cavities within the building's walls and the only components that are visible to the occupants of the building are its thermostat and its vents (which are usually flush with the walls and, therefore, not too noticeable).
